I am not sure my advice is sound....just another internet opinion. I wanted to jump in with both feet on the mods when I purchased mine but didn't have the funds at the time and didn't want to piece meal it together. I am glad that I waited because my needs have changed over the years and seen the regrets of people with overly lifted vehicles, roll overs, and scaling back of lifts and tire sizes. In the meantime while on the sidelines I have found out as many have preached that the 80 is a pretty capable vehicle stock. When I upgrade the suspension I am thinking high quality shocks with springs suited to my vehicles weight with minimal lift will suit my needs nicely. I don't wheel crazy but like to be off the beaten path and would like to have a dialed in suspension for comfort at moderate speed on dirt.
Also I am partial to the stock wheels. The allow wheels are strong and light, look good when cleaned up and the 16" rim gives more side wall for the tire. It may have less tire selection but I haven't had issues finding suitable tires for the 16 rims. I also like the stock steel rims with skinny tires but the rims are heavier than the alloy rims and haven't had issues with the allow rims yet so can't find a reason to change. There are some nice aftermarket rims too. The 300 series LC will have 6 lug pattern and larger rims and may have the right backspacing but haven't explored that as an option. Figured I may look at it down the road if I need larger brakes/calipers than can fit a 16 rim but I have kept my vehicles stock so far and the brakes work for what I have right now.
